Scenario / Background

I set this up as proof of concept for myself using the template from the other CentOS install page, some info from the official installation page and some trial and error.

This will get you up and running. Not sure about security though!?? Please edit the steps if you have an easier/better way of installing. I am not a professional developer/webmaster.

This is a vanilla install of CentOS 6.0 desktop with standard updates applied, installed on VMware Player.

Installation Steps

Install required packages

yum install php

yum install perl-libwww-perl

I downloaded and installed the below package as I couldn't get to the 'configure' page due to missing CGI::Carp. Installing CGI::Carp via CPAN did not work.http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/i386/Packages/perl-CGI-3.49-115.el6.i686.rpm

yum install rcs

yum install perl-CPANperl -MCPAN -e shellinstall HTML::Tree # Click yes though each question (takes a while). Did see there's a package called perl-HTML-Tree that might be the one to install via yum?# install CGI::Carp # Not required if the installer above is used. Did see there's a package called perl-Carp-Clan that might be the one to install via yum?reload cpanq

Create the first administrator

And follow the instructions in the yellow box.You can use a wikiname that still doesn't exist (let's say MyName).After you completed the steps editing the AdminGroup topic just register with the wikiname used in the previous step (eg. MyName):

Open the firewall to allow access

Open port 80 (www) on the firewall to gain access via the host IP address from another machine. (ifconfig will tell you the IP address). You will probably want to configure a static IP rather than leave it DHCP configured.
